Guerrilla Painter French Resistance Pochades and Accessories

These pochades from Guerrilla Painter offer the freedom and flexibility of a French Easel without the hassle. The two-in-one French Resistance design allows artists to paint canvases or panels and then transport them back to the studio with ease.

As flexible and portable as a French easel, French Resistance Pochades are fitted with a universal tripod mount for use with a standard camera tripod. They can also be used on a tabletop. Inside storage compartments hold paints, brushes, tools, and more, and the lid locks in any position up to 180°.

Lighter and easier to carry than a French easel, French Resistance Pochades are constructed of strong basswood laminate with stainless steel screws and aluminum hardware — no cracking or splitting!

Both the Medium and Large French Resistance Pochades are equipped with durable leather carrying handles. They also have sturdy metal clips that accommodate an optional shoulder strap (sold separately).

French Resistance Medium Palette Kit — This hand-held, oiled wood palette is designed to be stored and transported with wet paint on it (no need to clean up before heading home). It attaches to the inside lid of the Medium French Resistance Pochade with the included hardware. It measures 8"L × 12"W.

French Resistance Palette Extension Kits — Hinged Palette Extension Kits can be mounted on either the right or left side (or both sides) of the pochade. Because of the special offset hinge, they will fold down into the box, allowing the lid to close. Aluminum offsets keep them from contacting the inside surface of the box, so paint does not have to be removed before packing up. Each extension features holes for brushes and a parking slot for the Guerrilla Painter Hang Up Brush Caddy. Simple assembly is required and all hardware is included. Choose Medium or Large to match the size of your French Resistance Pochade.

French Resistance Large Pochade — The Large French Resistance Pochade measures 13"L &times' 17"W × 3"D and weighs just 5¼ lb. It has a telescoping mast and holds any size panel or canvas from 4" × 6" to 20" × 24".

Covered Palette Tray, 6" × 8" — Suitable for use with watercolors, oils, or acrylics, this covered palette tray from Guerrilla Painter is constructed of extra-durable,double-thick,high-impact white polystyrene and features a tight-fitting lid. Oil painters find this tray a great way to keep their equipment neat and tidy while saving their paint for several days. Watercolorists who like to use butcher trays feel right at home because of its unrestricted work area.

French Easel Accessory Kit — Pair this accessory kit with the French Resistance Pochade to create an organized outdoor painting space. The kit includes a hang-up brush caddy, a hook, a paper towel holder, a composition finder, and a Mighty Mite Jr. Brush Washer with a 2 oz (59 ml), solvent-resistant Pet jar and stainless steel insert.

Constructed of extra-durable,double-thick,high-impact white polystyrene, it also features a tight-fitting lid and a special, spill-resistant design that's easy to clean.

Comments about Guerrilla Painter French Resistance Pochades and Accessories:

When I first received it, I was amazed at the quality construction and functionality; although, when I put it to use I found some drawbacks. Be aware that 9"x 12" panels or palette pads will not fit inside the lid or main box. The inside lid dimension is just shy of 9" (8 13/16"). Also, the easel extension tube runs right through the middle of the space and it's impossible to slide a panel behind it. The catch for the lid door is right in front of the tube (toward hinge), so a panel will not fit in front, unless the panel is about 7.5" wide (see palette is cut short in the photo). The extension tube takes up precious space, although things can be place to either side of it. I was hoping I could modify the dividers in the main box to fit a 9" x 12" paper palette pad or panels, but the dimensions, again, are just shy of 9'' and there is a very large wing nut from the lid door that projects down into the main box area. There is no place for the hang-up brush caddie because the wire hook is only wide enough to fit over the wood edge thickness, and the aluminum slides on the sides are in the way. I think the box could have been improved but it still works ok; I just have to carry panels and a palette pad separately.

Comments about Guerrilla Painter French Resistance Pochades and Accessories:

The dividers in the box take up precious palette space. Very hard to remove. Should be removable. Brushes put in the holes get in the way when painting. Won't use. Size and weight are great! Shoulder strap good. I added a removeable piece of plex for a palette. My camera and tripod work with box plate just fine. The price is great! I'm thrilled thanks to Hal's advice.
